Byron,
0k, I just wanted to check with you in case the question came up during the EMC meeting.
Unfortunately, I found out yesterday afternoon that the EMC canceled the Water Quality Committee meeting for
September. Most of the members of the commission have been or will be replaced. The EMC will meet to swear in new
members, but there won't be any committee meetings until November. Variance requests have been delegated to the
Water Quality Committee. Therefore, we will not be able to present your request until the November meeting.
Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.

I'm happy to put splash guards down for the gutters on the new screened porch, but we're already treating 3/4 of
the roof runoff in the rain garden. Since the other items are covered under existing use, I wouldn't think either
the variance or the covenant would impact them.
Thanks,
Byron

I don't think it would be helpful to submit a protective covenant for another project, but we can notify
the EMC that a protective covenant will be recorded similar to ones that have been approved in the past

by the Division and EMC and a draft of which will be reviewed and approved by the Division prior to
recordation.
I believe we had discussed using a splash pad for the gutter discharge from the proposed screened
porch. I wanted to see if you would be willing to remove the direct discharge to the stream from the
existing gutter located in the area of proposed screened porch and direct it to a splash pad. Many of the
different protective covenants that I reviewed prohibited any direct discharge of stormwater through
the buffer.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Can we provide them with the example you provided me and say "I'll fill one of these out if the
variance is approved ?" As far as the other discharges, do you mean any new ones from the new
constriction?
Thanks,
Byron

Byron,
I have not had any success finding a suitable, example protective covenant as Word
document for your use. We can tell the EMC that you are willing to record a protective
covenant if the variance is approved, but it is possible that they may delay a decision
until a draft of the document is available for their review. Also, would you be willing to
remove the direct discharge of the gutters that will not be routed to the rain garden by
installing splash pads at each outlet?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Here's a copy of the Declaration. It's a PDF, so I can't modify it. Is this a form
we can use? or does it need to be prepared by a law firm as this one indicates at
the top?
Thanks,
Byron

Byron,
Since we've been having trouble matching up impact and buffer mitigation totals
mostly due the stair and paver area, I've attached my calculations for your
reference.
Thanks,
